Get an email template by ID
AI agents call getTemplate to retrieve information from Follow Up Boss MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves an existing email template and does not modify, delete, or execute any operations. It is a simple query/fetch operation that returns data without altering system state. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access to email templates poses minimal risk compared to tools that modify or execute code.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTemplate' and description 'Get an email template by ID' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the context of fetching a template by identifier are characteristic of read-only operations with no side effects.
